Six new civil lawsuits have been filed against Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs in a federal court in New York.<\/p>\n
Three men and three women accuse the hip-hop mogul of sexually assaulting them at various parties in Los Angeles, New York and Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
The youngest plaintiff was 13 at the time of the alleged incident.<\/p>\n
Mr Combs remains in custody at a Brooklyn jail. He is separately facing federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, which he denies. The BBC has approached his legal team for comment on the new cases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
His lawyers recently dismissed the flurry of lawsuits as “clear attempts to garner publicity”, stressing that “Mr Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, man or woman.\u201d<\/p>\n
All six of the new civil cases allege that Mr Combs – or by proxy through his associates – drugged alcoholic beverages at the events that made the plaintiffs dizzy, nauseous and feel outside their bodies.<\/p>\n
In several of the suits, plaintiffs allege that Mr Combs raped them, forced oral sex on them, or aggressively groped them.<\/p>\n
Mr Combs is currently awaiting trial in May of next year for the federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He faces up to life in prison if convicted. <\/p>\n
The hip-hop icon has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has been denied bail multiple times.<\/p>\n
The indictment, along with several lawsuits, implicates his various business enterprises, alleging they played a role in facilitating and funding his abusive actions both inside and outside the music industry.<\/p>\n
The lawsuits further accuse Mr Combs of leveraging his power and influence in entertainment to manipulate, intimidate, and silence those around him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
One new case alleges Mr Combs and another male celebrity raped a 13 year-old girl at an after-party for the 2000 VMAs. The second male celebrity is not named in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n
Another alleges Mr Combs drugged an independent musical artist at a party and raped her. She says she woke up in pain and with imprints on her arms suggesting she had been tied with ropes while she was unconscious. <\/p>\n
In a third case, Mr Combs allegedly exposed himself to a man, and then grabbed the man’s genitals in a “rough” and “sexual” manner.<\/p>\n
A fourth involves a celebrity personal trainer, who Mr Combs allegedly assaulted at a party at his Hollywood Hills home in 2022.<\/p>\n
The trainer says he saw many high-profile celebrities engaging in group sexual activities at the party, where he was later brought into a small room with Mr Combs, who removed the personal trainer’s pants and performed “non-consensual oral sex onto him”.<\/p>\n
The fifth new filing concerns a woman who alleges she was drugged at a party at Mr Combs’ hotel room and woke up naked in bed with the rap musician talking on the phone in the corner of the room. <\/p>\n
The sixth case involves a man who ran a security firm. He alleges that he was invited into a private room by Mr Combs at a party, and he was then given a drink that made him feel dizzy and nauseous. He claims that Mr Combs then stuck his hands in his pants and grabbed his genitals.<\/p>\n
Mr Combs has faced almost a year of allegations, ranging from rape and sexual assault to grooming and domestic violence. <\/p>\n
